Service Area Across Nova Scotia

Solar installation is a 25-year relationship with your equipment and your utility. The installer you choose matters well beyond the day of commissioning — and a local one makes a significant difference in Nova Scotia's specific regulatory environment.

Tri-County Solar is based in Digby County, not Ontario or the United States. That means no out-of-province markup on travel, no unfamiliarity with Nova Scotia Power's interconnection process, and a crew that lives with the same electricity rates you do. When Enphase flags an anomaly on your monitoring dashboard three years from now, you are calling a local number — not a national call centre.

Nova Scotia Power's Self-Generating Option (net metering) has specific application requirements and interconnection timelines that differ from every other Canadian province. We have navigated this process and know exactly what documentation NSP requires, what timelines to expect, and how to avoid the delays that stall projects submitted by out-of-province installers unfamiliar with the system.

PACE financing eligibility is also municipality-specific. Digby, Yarmouth, and Halifax each administer their own programs with different interest rates, terms, and application processes. We know which programs are active, which ones have waiting lists, and whether your property address is eligible — information an out-of-province installer cannot reliably provide.

Graham Cromwell, Tri-County Solar's founder and system designer, holds an NRCan Registered Energy Adviser credential. This means your preliminary solar assessment is conducted by someone formally trained in Nova Scotia building energy performance — not a salesperson with a tablet. Our advisory-first process is designed to give you an honest picture of what solar will and will not do for your home before you commit to anything.
